BALLOON PARK

Spectacular hot air balloon park

Huge painting always attracts attention even when the colors are soft and the plot is undistinguished. But when the exciting activity is shown on the canvas and it is multicolor, all your thoughts are directed to it and you are submerged to the other world – a world of balloon park this time. Multicolored balloons are not only beautiful. They deliver the full range of emotions as you fly the air balloon. One thing is certain: you will never forget about this experience. Come to our online website to find a large original oil painting for sale. The painting will remind you of the most fantastic trip of your life!

When Afremov created the original oil painting, he was, probably, inspired by the Balloon Festival. This is a very spectacular event. Many multicolored air balloons rise to the sky. If you want a real magical experience, air balloon festival is an excellent solution. A large-scale canvas devoted to the theme of hot air balloons is perfect for decoration.

Use of hot air balloons in history

Copenhagen balloon park was an old military camp that appeared in 1880-s. Air balloons were used by the army to protect the city against air attacks. Using the balloons, army could obtain the data they would not get otherwise, for instance, they could check the efficiency of weapon. But during the WWII the Germans took over the camp. The facts from the history of hot air balloons:

· Hot air balloons were used for reconnaissance from the bird’s-eye-view. This is how the battlefield maps were prepared.

· Hot air balloons were used for scientific goals.

· The trips by hot air balloons turned into entertainment. In France it was even a fad in the 19th century.

Unforgettable experience of the air balloon trip

You can experience nervous trembling and huge excitement during the trip. There is no fear when the balloon flight begins. If you do not look out from the basket, it is hard even to understand that you fly up to the sky therefore there is no any fear. The feeling can be compared with the experience of standing on the open observation platform of some tall tower. Discomfort comes only when you look at the earth during the flight, and you realize that you are far away from the earth. There are a few hundred miles between you and the earth and only the plastic bottom of the basket keeps you afloat.

Dear Mr. Afremov,
My painting is just breathtaking! I love it. I wish you'd do some paintings that include your Jewish background and your time in Israel. We Israelis are waiting!
Every blessing.

I just discovered "Misty Mood" on Jeff Foster's FB page, and I was immediately struck straight through my heart. I began to cry and I don't know why, but it apparently captures a forgotten memory of my younger years. I've never ever had anyone's painting move me to tears (and they just won't quit now). I look forward to being able to purchase this powerfully meaningful, moving work of art!!
